Oracle Video Server (OVS)
System Architecture
2-3
MPEG (Motion Pictures Experts Group)
The OVS supports these compression
formats defined by MPEG:
■
MPEG-1 video
■
MPEG-2 video
■
MPEG audio
MPEG formats provide full-motion (up to 60 frames per second), full-screen video
with high fidelity/stereo audio playback.
By taking advantage of redundancies among frames in a video sequence, MPEG
formats provide a storage compression ratio of 100 to 1 over storing each frame
individually, reducing the amount of disk space required to store video.
Container (Mux) Formats
The OVS supports these container, or multipexed
(mux), formats:
■
MPEG-1 System
■
MPEG-2 Transport
■
RKF (Raw Key Frame) Container Formats
such as:
■
AVI
■
WAV
MPEG-1 System and MPEG-2 Transport
Table 2–1
shows combinations of MPEG
codecs and container formats in which the OVS can deliver video.
